Despite talking for 24 hours in the Senate impeachment trial, Democrats failed to mention key evidence, because they know facts aren’t on the side, President Donald Trump defense attorney said in opening statements Saturday as Trump’s defense began arguments.

Cipollone promised that Trump’s attorneys would present the evidence that Democrats omitted, and said that those watching should ask: “Why am I just hearing about this now, after 24 hours of sitting through arguments?”:

“The fact that they came here, for 24 hours, and hid evidence from you, is further evidence that they don’t really believe in the facts of their case.”

White House Counsel Pat Cipollone: "Today, we are going to confront them on the merits of their argument. Now they have the burden of proof and they have not come close to meeting it."

The Democrats – not President Trump – are actually the ones trying “to perpetrate the most massive interference in an election in American history,” Cipollone said:

“That this is, for all their talk about election interference, that they’re here to perpetrate the most massive interference in an election in American history. And, we cannot allow that to happen.

“It would violate our constitution. It would violate our history. It would violate our obligations to the future. And, most importantly, it would violate the sacred trust the American people have placed in you and have place in them.

“The American people decide elections.”

“The President’s lawyers star witness is going to be Adam Shiff testifying against himself.”

Really. If the RATs want to copy the style of the Clinton impeachment (they say they do, but they don’t), then Schiff MUST testify. They made Starr testify with Clinton; now it’s Schiff’s turn.

“I used to prepare reports for a city council. The city manager had such a low opinion of his council members that he instructed me to restrict my reports to one page (”that’s the most they can comprehend”). Once I ran over and had a one and a quarter page report. He made me rewrite it.”

That’s SO FUNNY. When I worked for a city council, I had to assemble packets for their weekly meetings. Once, a department submitted a document that was printed double sided. The office manager told me to go to the copier and copy it one-sided, because the council members “might not think to look at both sides”. A little temp girl was there and she quietly asked, “Do they read books?” I burst out laughing (and got in trouble, of course).

At least one critter in the MSM was enchanted by Schiff’s body — the way he moved, or the body language or something. Just eeeuuuuu.

Re politicians: Another client I had was a county government. I reported to the Assistant County Manager who told me that his commissioners used to be bankers, doctors, businessmen and other professionals. Nowadays he said we have people on the commission who can’t even balance their checkbooks and they are in charge of millions for the county budget. He was very discouraged and soon retired.
